Those corporations that have been using both EMC (Documentum) products as well as Microsoft SharePoint have most likely found it a bit difficult to link the two systems together. Along your travels you've probably run across Vorsite. This company has become the leader in integrating these two platforms by creating web parts, protocol handlers, event handlers, etc for SharePoint that tie directly into Documentum.
About a week ago Microsoft produced a press release stating their agreement with EMC to have the 2 systems work together to enhance the content management features of both systems by making sure that they will compliment each other. My initial thought was to wonder what would happen with my Vorsite integrations that we've setup on SharePoint 2003?
Today I receieved the following email from Vorsite. Apparently EMC will be licensing the Content Connector technologies that they have created for Microsoft SharePoint 2007. This is great news to anyone like me who has been working with the Vorsite products, as they will be the same products that are used moving forward into SharePoint 2007.

Seattle, WA – September, 2006 - Vorsite Corporation, the leading expert in connecting content management systems with Microsoftr SharePointr Products and Technologies, is pleased to announce that it has reached a landmark agreement with EMC|Documentum. Under the terms of the agreement, Documentum will be licensing the proprietary Content Connector Technologies for Microsoft SharePoint 2007 developed by Vorsite Corporation for distribution with the EMC product line.
Rano Joshi, Vice President Products and Services noted that, "For organizations facing the challenge of implementing content compliance strategies while maintaining an open collaboration environment, this agreement takes on even greater importance. When looking forward to the release of SharePoint 2007 and the Microsoft Office Server System, organizations are questioning how their conversion to the 2007 version of SharePoint will impact their existing back-end system. With Vorsite, the answer is simple - it won't."
Aaron Nettles, Vorsite CEO added that, "We have worked in close concert with Microsoft over the past 12 months to make sure that we are in line with the new version of SharePoint. In that time, we have been able to fully validate our direction for the new release. If and when an EMC|Documentum client decides to either purchase or upgrade to the new SharePoint Server environment, their established EMC infrastructure will continue to integrate seamlessly with their new SharePoint end-user experience."
